Underpaid and overworked - Senior Associate The Raben Group Employee Review

Pros

Lots of smart people to learn from

Cons

Prepare to be overworked and underpaid. What’s a 9-5? Or a 9-6? Nobody here would know! If you work in comms, then expect a lot of condescending attitudes when you don’t just “get it” and an expectation to always be on and responsive even if you have 10 clients to balance. You can get lucky with a director or principal who is a good manager wanting to support junior staff, but that’s not common here, at least in comms. It’s a shame because there are a lot of smart people to learn from but not worth risking your health over. For the amount of hours you work, they don’t pay enough. It’s a trend with a lot of social impact firms it seems but the work suffers because of it.

Pros

- Hybrid work environment - Client travel - Good Food at Events

Cons

The workload can be heavy, and it is difficult to maintain balance during busy periods. It can be hard to use the unlimited PTO policy because there is always a lot going on. Staffing and internal processes are not always set up in ways that support the amount of work expected, which leads to burnout. Communication and expectations from leadership can be unclear at times. Decisions are not always explained, and the process around promotions or raises is not transparent. Pay does not always match the level of responsibility. Employee experiences vary a lot depending on the team or manager. Some teams are supportive, while others lack structure. The internal culture does not always match the values the organization promotes publicly, and feedback from staff does not always lead to change.
